The standard solution for high-draw machinery is a separate three-phase service.
Three-phase chargers that convert to DC for fast charging at home would handle the job economically, cut the cost for three phase residential service (more machine tools and welders for me!), and dispose of the "chickenshit residential service" drawback.
By his uniform and marking with appropriate recognized symbols such as the Red Crescent. Otherwise he's an unlawful combatant/criminal/partisan.
It used to be legal (quite reasonably) to shoot those without uniforms who were bearing arms on the field of battle on the spot. The movement, post-Nuremburg, to outlaw warfare by those who actually obey the laws of war (it's an opt-in thing) has since made things more difficult.
The "benefit" of outlawing victory is long, long wars.
Of course. the wise user collects live CDs for recovery/repair/reinstallation and so is more prepared to sort out problems than most Windows victims (who can, BTW, collect PE-ish live CDs for rescue/recovery/emergency internet surfing too).
If we restricted ourselves to "good guys" we'd have no allies. The world is a bad place, water is wet, the sun rose in the East, and other cultures don't give a fuck about our values.:)
That's why WE need to do the same thing to compete, and fuse state and business into an international weapon to make money. The Chinese system is more profitable, has brought the people of China vastly more wealth than ever in their history, and took China from a smoking ruin in 1948 to a near-superpower now.
"This in turn is eliminating any desire for young people to study science or technology. Why should they, when all those jobs have moved overseas or are being handed out to visa holders? The kids are going to study law or business, things they can use in a third world economy (i.e. the future America)."
Law or business are the disciplines of the master class, EVERYWHERE, while science and technology are not. The exception of some scientists and geeks doing well is often due to _business_ skill (Bill Gates).
If one would be one of the masters, studying serf jobs is pointless.
The "actual enemy" is the potential "Caliphate" opposite the proposed arc of missile defense.
Mentioning it exists is Trollish thoughtcrime, but strategic planners have a duty beyond PC emotionalism.
There is clearly a need to bring Russia into the NATO sphere of influence in a "good way" useful to Russians. We face a mutual Jihadist enemy and wars that may take a century.
We need Russia, China, and India on the same page to contain Pakistan (especially after it falls to its own Taliban and the tiny minority of officials living on US money are lynched) and Iran.
"This airport theatre is OBSCENE, ethically and morally wrong on EVERY level."
Vote with your wallet and don't fly. Deny the airlines money by not using their services. The purpose of security theater is mostly to restore faith in air travel and keep the airlines running.
We can afford to lose a few airliners as easily as we afford to lose thousands of terrestrial travellers in auto crashes, if we CHOOSE an equal level of indifference.
It's about psychological impact, not dead people. Life is cheap except when taken in exotic ways with lots of media coverage.
"but they are the ones building large new military forces at the moment and we are trapped in endless cost overruns and delays."
Bit of an asserted conclusion there.:) "Having" cost overruns and delays doesn't equate to "trapped", and we have been at war with Iraq at varying levels since 1990. We have a highly experienced combat force, plenty of capable systems, and no existential military threats.
China BTW isn't a problem if we don't fight them, and I'm enjoying the changing reality because I reject the traditional "Jihad for Asia" death cult where the US is obliged to suicide for Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and other parasites we don't need.
The US isn't the master of Asia. That's a question for Asians to solve. Pearl S. Buck is fucking dead. Good riddance.
The US protests as a matter of humoring the sensitive. Do note that China may oppress people in its sphere of influence, but hasn't bothered the US much after detente.

Thank you.
I'm sure that rant will cause OP to change his ways and handle every package as if it were Baby Jesus in swaddling.
In a world where the ruling class are rewarded for not giving a shit, why should he?
Just in time to rescue the Most Valuable Generation, the Baby Boomers!

"Simply boycott BP. If enough people do it, they will be bought by a responsible company."
In what fucking alternate universe does a company being sold mean that the buyer will be "responsible"???
Put down the glass pipe.

"Why not put an air skirt around the soldier, and lift him on a bed of air?"
Hills and ditches and lumps and bumps would defeat that in short order. There is good reason hovercraft are used only over water or flat ground.
"New Orleans is cursed."
By its own people, which is why the cities that took in refugees are less than thrilled with their increased crime rates.
"It's spelled 'Scotsman', not 'Scottsman'."
There's no true 'Scotsman' either way. :)
Run LTS instead.

After a day looking at average travellers, the TSA folks probably have PTSD.
Thanks to the Internet I know there are people who want to see Jabba the Hutt naked, but I doubt they are very common.
"Don't you just love US foreign policy?"
If we restricted ourselves to "good guys" we'd have no allies. The world is a bad place, water is wet, the sun rose in the East, and other cultures don't give a fuck about our values. :)
"Now, what pie will arouse women? THAT'S the pie I need."
I tried to bake some using known-effective fragrances, but burnt money doesn't taste very good.
Oh well, back to the bus station with the leftover Halloween candy. :(

We must have wealth. Business is war.
"I can't figure out if the Wikileaks people are good guys or bad guys"
The two aren't mutually exclusive.
"I mean having a 12' tall Toyota Hilux or a 1,000 core computer has to be BYOV, Bring Your Own Vibrator time."
I, for one, find that combination vaguely arousing.
"anti-islamic racist hate mongering "
Muslims are not a race. Religion is ideology, that is all.

Lived for years in both states, strongly agree!

Doing all that doesn't exclude playing drug mule.

How much of that data is actually required for the business on which you are travelling?
